Lamb Of God - VII: Sturm Und Drang (Nuclear Blast) 2015
9
Sturm Und Drang is an overcome of a band who went through a terrible storm, who’s now back with full ambition and with one of the most distinct and stylistic metal album of this year. Lyrically, Sturm Und Drag explores the capacity that our spirit has under strong pressure, something that Randy felt in the last couple years, given his experiences in Prague’s Pankrác Prison. After Sacrament and Resolution, the expectations were high, not only because their previous efforts were monstrous classics, but to see if they were capable at least to match their previous performances. Well, these guys achieved all of that and raised the bar, not only for them, but for all the new generation of bands. This is their most extreme, diverse and refined album of their entire catalogue, even surprise features of both Chino Moreno and Greg Puciato gave this album an whole new level of tension and dynamics. This is their legacy, their masterpiece!
